Wedding Milestones- Getting Licensed to Wed!

The flowers, the photography, the dress, though they can be beautiful and important, they're all icing on the wedding cake! One of the few things that a wedding NEEDS in order to happen is the marriage licence.

My fiance picked our's up at the end of November (in Ontario you can get it 90 days before the wedding or sooner) and for me that really was the moment when it really hit me that this wedding and marriage were really happening.

Have you picked up your marriage licence yet? If you have was it a moment when things really sank in? Were you emotional like me?

    We got ours about a month before the wedding - we didn't want to accidentally misplace it and not have it for the wedding! It was on my DH's birthday actually lol - not everyday you turn 30 AND get a marriage license. The wedding was really real for me but until the license, it wasn't as real for my DH so he had the sinking-in moment lol

    We did get our marriage license about 3 months about towards our day and handed it over to the Officiant to put with his book.

    The one thing I had done due to the cost of the license was look on the internet and make calls to city halls to find the lowest price based on the area surrounding us.

    We have a ways to go yet so we'll probably wait for August or so to get ours.

    We’re still too far out. We’ll probably get it closer to the wedding - perhaps in June!

    I think in NB we can get it a month before (I have it in a timeline somewhere!) and we both have to be present in order to get one, so I'll take a half day on one of his days off sometime in September.
